Hush Puppy Recipe

Now, this may sound odd, but believe it or not hush puppies are great with syrup on top. The main purpose of these delicious treats is to accompany soup.

Hush Puppy Ingredients And Equipment

For this recipe you will need:
3 Cups Corn Meal
5 Cups Boiling Water
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Corn Oil
Medium Large Sauce Pan
Frying Pan
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Spatula
Spoons


Hush Puppy Dough

First Step: Hush Puppy Dough

In a sauce pan on a burner set on medium high combined and stir:
3 Cups Corn Meal
5 Cups Boiling Water
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
You should continue to stir until the dough is hot and wants to create a ball.

Forming Hush Puppy

Second Step: Forming Hush Puppies

Once the dough is still very warm, but not hot enough to burn your hand, take a small portion out of the pan and shape it into a round flat pancake. The picture to the far left should give you an idea of its proportion.
I do this step by rolling the dough into balls and then with a piece of wax paper on top and underneath the dough ball smash it with a spatula.



Frying Hush Puppies

Third Step: Frying Hush Puppies

Take your frying pan and fill it 1/4 of an inch up with corn oil. Turn your burner on to medium high. If you have an electric stove top like mine you will need to wait about three minutes for it to heat up. Then place about eight hush puppies into the hot oil. Once their bottom sides look like the upper close up left picture flip them over and let the other side fry. Once they are done take them out, blot the oil off of them using paper towels and then salt them.

Now enjoy your hush puppies!
